i thought obrien waas thomas' mother too

i want to watchh the first seris again

Finally reached the end.
Shewhomustnot fantastic summary. Do you work in script production?
I think it will all go tits up with the irish man and nurse one, car driving one will run somebody over (hopefully Matthews mum, I loathe her) and kill her.
Maggie Smith will have an affair with war dodging butler who doesn't work at Downton but whose name I can't remember.
William and Daisy will get married just before he is called to the front. She will be pregnant from their only night together. Alternatively, Thomas will come back with th ehole in his hand and take Daisy away from the lovely William.

pamplemousserose · 20/09/2011 07:35

Thomas is gay, no?
Mary and Matthew will end up together.

ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 20/09/2011 08:15

IMVHO, Thomas is gay, but will go whichever way suits his evil ends. He is rotten to the core [get's into the lingo of the time]

SoupDragon · 20/09/2011 10:40

Thomas is gay but remember that, in that time, he would not be able to live a gay life. He would heed a wife - even Oscar Wilde had one of those didn't he?.

SoupDragon · 20/09/2011 10:41

About the only time I've felt compassion for Thomas is when he got himself shot through the hand. They portrayed the horror of the trenches very well I think.

Summerbird73 · 20/09/2011 11:01

i agree with soupdragon, i think he will marry Daisy to piss of William (who will prob die anyway) and Daisy will live a miserable life bless her

They are doing a third series to cover the 1920s too.

ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 20/09/2011 11:12

So, are we agreed that Thomas is a cunt cad of the highest water? I agree, he will marry poor dim Daisy, she will be his beard and live a life of misery.
I am slightly concerned about Bates. Mrs Bates told him to hit her and she'd go and have pictures taken. Sounds as if it isn't the first time.

ThePrincessRoyalFiggyrolls · 20/09/2011 11:38

I do wonder how Thomas hasn't got a white feather - I mean he is the biggest shyster around, shame it wasn't him that got it in the head when it will no doubt be the lovely William Sad - ooh I do sound horrid don't I Blush.

Anna and Bates are likely to never get in on are they, makes me want to go and Slap Julian Fellowes Grin

ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 20/09/2011 11:42

Thomas doesn't have a white feather because he is serving, not as a soldier, but in the medical corp. which is as, if not more dangerous.

missmogwi · 20/09/2011 11:47

Grin at us all getting over involved.

Yeah I think William will die, daisy will be up the duff and in disgrace and marry bastard Thomas to hide her shame.

Sybil will have a secret affair with the chauffeur. If she doesn't I'll want to know the reason why as he is lovely!

ThePrincessRoyalFiggyrolls · 20/09/2011 11:55

Well I think he should, I mean he can't even get a proper war wound, shot in the hand Pah thats not even a flesh wound thats a paper cut Grin

ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 20/09/2011 12:05

Good theory missmogwi, although you do know you don't get pregnant by kissing don't you.
I think if she is up duffed, the lovely Mrs Pattmore will whisk something up that will either end the pregnancy or postpone it until Daisy marries Thomas.

missmogwi · 20/09/2011 12:16

Grin they will get it on next week!

Mrs Pattmore is more likeable in this series, I thought she was a right old bat last time.

Can't wait for next week.

ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 20/09/2011 12:17

I've always had a soft spot for Mrs Pattmore.
Where will Daisy and William be able to do the deed. Mrs Housekeeper has the key for the corridor in between male and female rooms.

SoupDragon · 20/09/2011 12:20

I think MrsP is happier because she can see again.

didn't the youngest daughter in Upstairs Downstairs shag the chauffeur though? They can't do that here too.

missmogwi · 20/09/2011 12:25

Ohh BoomBoom Missmogwi.
Haven't seen Upstairs Downstairs since the first proper time it was on (70s).
The chauffeur in Downton is a wrong 'un. I'd like to see the sour faced sister (Edith?) be tricked into a one night stand with the chauffeur and end up pregnant.
Let her see what shame is. I really don't like that woman.

missmogwi · 20/09/2011 12:37

Me neither. I wasfurious with her for writing about Mary and the Turkish bloke.

OP posts:
ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 20/09/2011 12:41

OK then, revised plan. Thomas comes back home and using his left hand (he was shot in the right one) he somehow manages to get Edith in a compromising position. He makes beautiful love to her back passage, some Tommy jizz drips down, enters her lady passage and she gets pregnant.
By the time Anna realises she hasn't had her monthly (Lady's don't need to keep track, that's what servants are for) it is too late for Mrs Pattmores patented sorter outer and she is forced into a life of humiliation being wed to Gay Tom.

ripstheirthroatoutliveupstairs · 20/09/2011 12:42

and to add to the dreadful awfullness of the situation, they have to live with the one whose got a face like a smacked arse and looks like her hair is knitted.

swanyriver · 20/09/2011 12:58

Oh yes, 'smacked arse' O'Brien must be running low on lemons to suck, after all there is a war on.

Summerbird73 · 20/09/2011 13:09

oo YY to an Edith and Thomas union. god they are both aaawful
